National Philanthropy Day 2026

Join GSAFP as we honor the Outstanding Philanthropists, Outstanding Philanthropic Business, and Outstanding Nonprofit in our community! National Philanthropy Day (NPD) is a special day set aside each November. The purpose of this day is to recognize the great contributions of philanthropy—and those people active in the philanthropic community—to the enrichment of our world. We invite you to support GSAFP’s NPD event on November 18, 2026, 12 pm-1:30 pm with our theme, “Change the World with a Giving Heart!” This event celebrates GSAFP's eighth anniversary as a chapter and the fundraising professionals who benefit our Clark, Greene, and Champaign County communities.
